I am working on a research task and I need to use wifi and mobile data connection simultaneously for different tasks in an Android app. Is it possible? if yes then how? Any suggestions for work-around are also appreciated.

no .. it is not possible with current android policy. I then modified the android kernel and hacked the policy code to allow both services activated at the same time. – Kanwar Saad Jul 01 '14 at 14:57

@KanwarSaad Have you found any solution without changing the kernel? I know that since Android 6 it is possible to have both connections simultaneously. – mohsen_og Feb 08 '17 at 15:16

A bit late but straight answer is no.
Android automatically changes to WiFi when available because it is faster.
Sorry
There maybe a way if you root your device
